NES Buries Power Lines in Pilot

Nashville Electric Service is launching a $10 million pilot program to bury power lines in four neighborhoods—including Thunderbird in Charlotte Park—after a devastating ice storm left over 230,000 customers without power. Designed to shield infrastructure from extreme weather, the project will begin digging late summer or fall, with community meetings planned to address homeowner concerns. Expected to finish by June next year, this major investment aims to prevent future outages and boost reliability, especially after seeing the impact of severe weather firsthand.
